MATERNAL CARE:
The Ante-natal clinics continued to be held at the five
permanent Health Centres. The examinations are conducted
by the Departmental Medical Officers, a Health Visitor and
the Midwife ultimately responsible for the case being in
attendance. Arrangements continue by which mothers who
are to be admitted to Hospital for their confinements are
supervised ante-natally at these Sessions. The following Table
gives particulars of the work of this section as compared with
previous years:—
